Hello!
I am a Polish artist based in the North East of the UK, working with a strong interest in narrative, art history, reproduction, and folk art traditions. My practice draws on these influences to create layered, contemplative works that explore memory, emotion, and the quiet tension within everyday experience.
Psuja - (noun) · pronounced: [psu-ya]
Definition: Derived from the Polish verb psuć — “to break”
About PSUYA
PSUYA
The name comes from a Polish word 'psuja' , meaning “the one who breaks.” What begins as mischief becomes a source of inspiration: PSUYA transforms breaking into an act of creation.
Through care, curiosity, and craftsmanship, PSUYA turns the broken and forgotten into objects of beauty — celebrating imperfection, emotion, and the power of renewal.
Psuya Values
-
Play
Play is the heart of my process — an embrace of curiosity, experimentation, and imperfection. Through playful making, I discover unexpected forms and stories within the materials, allowing intuition to lead creation. -
Soul
The soul lives in each piece — the emotion, memory, and quiet essence of what it once was. Through craft and intention, I bring these stories forward, creating objects that feel alive and connected to their past. -
Pulse
Every material holds its own pulse — a rhythm shaped by nature, time, and touch. I honour each piece by reclaiming what’s been discarded, transforming the broken and unwanted into something new, meaningful, and beautiful.
